We’ve launched our Indiegogo campaign to raise funding for our Santana Row Store, our new San Francisco flagship store and to add 300 new makers to be the #1 site for American made!

Our Mission
Makers Market is on a mission to Rebuild the Legacy of American Made; and we need your support to make our dream a reality. We curate the best of American handcrafted by searching the 50 states for well-designed, durable and unique handcrafted goods. Quite a feat – but one we are extremely passionate about.
Our brand is inspired by nature’s perfect beauty, the spirit of American ingenuity and entrepreneurship, and authentic craft that honors and respects those things.
Our Unique Brick and Mortar Shopping Experience
We’ve been selling online for a few years. However, it was at our first pop-up shop in San Francisco where we saw first-hand the awe-inspired look of shoppers who LOVED their in-store experience. Smelling and touching the leather and seeing the quality of the product; they appreciate the heart and soul that went into making the goods. Our stores are different, in that we have makers deliver product to the store (sometimes by bike); we have meet the maker events; makers customize product in the stores; we hold classes. Ours stores are reinventing the current stale shopping experience.
To be truly inspired, people need the physical connection. We want the maker movement to realize its full potential and support makers in doing what they love, by connecting shoppers with the products first-hand.
